Id love to try it, looks wicked fun.

I would just be fearfull of a high gust that would whip me up into the statosphere. Like that movie of the kite-sufers with the Mad Hatter Dude.

Really cool, but how do you stop? Can you "eject" if things get out of hand?

My dad has a power parachute - there are actually "brakes" that you pull down on, but not sure if it's the same with these kite/chutes.

A year or two back, some catalog (Mtn Hardware / North Face maybe?) had a killer article and pics on kite skiing / boarding and climbing, Baffin Island I think. Anybody see that?
